Good morning Wildcat Parents, We wanted to remind you that report cards for 3rd-8th grade are available to view through your online Skyward portal. Also, when signing into Skyward, all parents/guardians will see a new dashboard tile highlighted in green. This green tile is a Demographics tile that will automatically update the school's records with your personal information such as phone number, address, or emails. Please fill out the sections on this tile in Skyward so we can accurately reach you about District news and upcoming registration! We would love to have all parent information updated by June 5th and hopefully this tile makes it quick and easy for you. Don't forget to double check spelling and numbers so we have the right info. If you do not remember you Skyward password, you can click Forgot Password to have a new link sent to your email on file or email your building principal. Thank you!

Come join us in a motor parade for our graduates! We will lineup on Saturday, May 30th at 5:30pm at Rocor in Sunnyland and follow NTFD throughout the Sunnyland area. Please follow social distancing guidelines. Have your grad wear their gown if they have one! We encourage you to decorate your vehicles: streamers, balloons, posters, pics, window paint, etc. Get creative! Encourage your friends and family to lineup along the parade route, social distancing of course. They can send their congrats with signs, shout outs, etc. An alternate rain date will be made up if the forecast is rain.

Thank you to all who have served and are currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, as we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Dear 8th-grade parents/guardians, As we are approaching the end of the school year, we are starting to look ahead to summer school and the fall semester. I'm sure your student is excited to complete eighth grade and we are looking forward to seeing them as incoming freshmen. If your student is interested in enrolling in summer school, we are offering several courses online. Attached you will find detailed information about the dates for attendance, courses offered, fees, and how to register. It is important to consider your student's readiness for a condensed summer school schedule. This will be their first introduction to a high school course, and a full semester of material is covered in about five weeks.The courses are also offered online, so it is very important that students are motivated to participate remotely. If you are interested in enrolling for summer school, the registration will be available May 15 - May 25, 2020. If you have any questions about the courses offered or what to expect, please contact me or the school counselor assigned to your last name. We look forward to a successful summer school session and welcoming the incoming freshmen this fall. Sincerely, Karen Stevens WCHS Principal
